Aida
The story of the Ethiopian Princess Aida who falls in love with the Egyptian army officer Radames. Verdi's beloved opera about the price of war and hatred between nations returns in a grand new production.
La Boheme
The production by Richard Jones, which we remember from the 2017-2018 season, approaches this "indestructible title" with a respect for tradition, but taking its distance. The audience watches the stage hands shift scenery, perhaps in keeping with a Puccini who set aside raw verismo in order to preserve, as if wrapped in amber, a piece of reality.

With the production of Mozart’s final comic opera in Italian, the young French director Vincent Huguet and Daniel Barenboim set the stage for a new Da Ponte cycle at Staatsoper Unter den Linden.

Werther
Bruno Ravella's intense, beautiful and elegant production, in association with Opera National de Lorraine.
Don Giovanni
First seen at the Salzburg Festival in 2008, the production by Claus Guth explores these questions in depth; setting the action in a dark forest where the drama progresses as if in a dream.
Die Zauberflöte
The acclaimed production of the Magic Flute, inspired by silent films, by stage director Barrie Kosky.

La Bohème
A new production with conductor Paolo Carignani and director Richard Jones arrives at the Teatro Real in co-production with the Royal Opera House de Londres and the Chicago Lyric Opera.

La Traviata
